Differences between Paris and Jerusalem

“Neither Ban Ki-moon nor the leaders of Europe and America will be calling for ‘all sides to show restraint’, nor will they want to discuss a cycle of violence. No one is going to accuse France of a disproportionate response (even though M. Hollande within hours declared a state of emergency, sealed the borders and swore to respond ‘without mercy’) and no UN investigation will take statements from aggrieved Syrians or France’s neglected and discriminated-against Muslim minority.

“No governments, NGOs or respectable media outlets will suggest that France, as by far the stronger, richer and better-armed party, must offer concessions to its enemies as the only way to achieve peace.”

Nope.

Arik, R.I.P.

Ariel (Arik) Sharon was “…a father of Israel. A man who minced neither his words nor his actions. He is loved, he is hated, he is revered. Death will not change the range of emotions and opinions held on this son of Israel. He will be remembered as a man who saved Israel when she needed him most, more than once.”
